And then I found a couple of pictures from an other friend. He is a lovely person and an amazing photographer. His last project was "jewelry in french-fries"... and we were lucky enough to go to his exhibition and eat the best "French-Fires and Currywurst" of our whole lives.
Besides the amazing French-Fries we saw some really nice work and were impressed about his project.

The "Jewelery in French-Fries" Projekt was a part of an Art-Prject of a whole city. They tried to get more people out and around the city. This idea in mind they tried to find as many shops a possible to make a -window decorate project- so the people in this city got more inspired to shop, eat and just be in the center of the city!
And it worked, because we normally would´t drive with a train to an other city just to eat "french fries and currywurst" but to see this project we did!

I really hope you all are feeling a litte inspired and of course better than I do (and sadly Bambi, too)
So stay calm and healthy, drink tea with lemon and ginger and put a hat on! Its getting cold outside!

Welcome to my humble new room... I know we've already lived here for a little while, but hadn't really managed to fully move in and decorate yet.

My room is the tinyest (around 90 sq ft) I've ever lived in and might also be the nicest. It has a big window and -as I like to think- a big character and contains all the things I love, including this wall, painted gold, + encouraging words. I don't wanna sound as sentimental (as I really am), but I truly, deeply believe in the power of words and those are the first words I see now each morning which is such a good way to start my days.

I'm not exactly partiotic, neither when it comes to Germany nor Egypt, but this tiny little cat that guards my books proudly (and which I bought in Cairo) makes me glad to have Arab blood running through my veins and also reminds me how wise the old Egyptians where in declaring cats holy.

A Cup of Jo is the lifestyle blog by Joanna Goddard, a magazine writer who lives with her husband and two sons in Brooklyn and writes about food, relationships, family, love, fashion and everydaylife.
We love her practical advice, her interesting links to everything concerning art, beauty and the good life and her well written observations.
Her blog brings us joy and inspiration and is a daily read for us!

There's not much to say about Smitten Kitchen. It quiet simply is the best food blog ever. Deb is an amazing cook and baker. Her recipes are doable, delicious and jaw-dropping. To me (Bambi), it is the most sensual food photography I've ever seen and looking at her blog and trying her recipes makes me very, very happy!

Twohandfulsof is the blog of Michaela.
I just 'discovered' it recently and love it a lot. Michaela is a young Christian woman, who writes about spirituality, nature, marriage, God and gratitude. Her humility and honesty add calmness to my life and mind (which is desperatly needed) and remind me of all of the things that were given to me and all the reasons to be thankful. So, thank you Michaela...you just got yourself a new devoted reader.

She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It's good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind.

After a long and sad summer and a rescheduling of my mums birthday... we finally had the party! And we did something special... a small "Oktoberfest" in our hometown! (Which is not near Munich). With a lot of lovely friends in awesome costumes!
